Ah, ****... When I took my AF7 off... the thermal pad that was attached the bottom came off, and is stuck to my CPU now... How should I scrape it off? With just like a plastic knife or plastic spoon or something and throw it away?

Ok....got done putting on the new thermal grease/reseating my hs/f. Now I just have to wait for the 200hr break-in period that AS suggests. But, I have a question... CoreTemp and Everest show different temps. Like right now when I'm pretty much at idle, Everest shows: (an average of) 11C and 16C for both of my cores, and CoreTemp shows: (an average of) 10C and 12C. So which is right and which should I trust more? I'm going to check the BIOS idle temp too, and see which temp is closer to the BIOS's reading.

those temps are incorrect unless it is like 45*F in your room.
10*C = 50*F
theres no way your temp is lower than the ambient temperature of your room using air cooling. unless maybe you have an AC duct attached to it.
